   One of B.C.’s top-earning companies has again been fined for illegally   
   operating a garbage transfer station that government says sidesteps   
   recycling regulations.   
      
   Super Save Disposal Inc. was fined $70,000 by the courts in 2005 for   
   operating without a permit in Surrey.   
      
   Earlier this month, it was fined $145,000 for the same offence at a   
   different Surrey location.   
      
   A call to Super Save for comment was not returned by press time.   
      
   According to an agreed statement of facts, the Super Save Group — parent   
   of the disposal arm — was ranked 77th out of the top revenue-generating   
   companies in B.C. in 2012, and is the fourth-largest commercial waste   
   disposal operator in the province.   
      
   In both cases, Metro Vancouver regional district had identified and   
   warned the company that its transfer stations — which are delivery   
   points for garbage sorting or compacting — was not licensed, according   
   to the provincial court.   
      
   In the end of each case, the company decided to shut down the operation   
   instead of applying for the proper regulation — which would have   
   included a number of associated application, administration and disposal   
   fees.   
      
   Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode said Super Save sets a “bad example for   
   others” that follow the rules.   
      
   “I would need to ask Super Save, why is it that they feel like they’re   
   not able to adhere to the regulations set out and enforced by Metro   
   Vancouver?” she said.   
      
   According to the court, in the 2005 instance Super Save waited six   
   months after it was told of the regulatory breach before closing shop.   
      
   The sentencing judge said the company “concluded that properly regulated   
   activity at the site would not be profitable.”   
      
   In the most recent case, the 19395 Langley Bypass site continued   
   operating until August 2013, according to the statement of facts,   
   despite being told of the violation in February 2012.   
      
   According to Rasode, Surrey has also filed charges against Super Save   
   for allegedly “ignoring zoning requirements” for a recycling depot at   
   19388 - 92nd Ave., despite repeated city notices.   
      
   The city’s regulations, she indicated, requires recycling depots to be   
   inside a building, but the property at 92nd Avenue is a vacant site.
